TECHNOLOGY’S IMPACT ON ACCOUNTING & FINANCE JOBS
CFOs are three times as likely to see job gains instead of losses due to advanced technology.
Executives predict there will be:
Significantly more/some more jobs created than lost 59% |
No net change in jobs 22% |
Significantly more/some more jobs lost than created 19% |
When asked if tech makes positions in the profession more or less appealing, CFOs said:
Less appealing 19% |
No difference 20% |
More appealing 61% |
Top 3 reasons these jobs are more appealing:
1. Greater insights into the business to help with decision making |
2. The opportunity to work with advanced tools |
3. More time for higher-value work |
